Extreme-ultraviolet fluorescence from core-excited levels of neutral rubidium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strong extreme-ultraviolet fluorescence originating from core-excited autoionizing levels of neutral Rb is observed. Radiative branching ratios approaching unity are inferred from the radiative yields. Long autoionizing lifetimes and fast radiative rates make these levels promising candidates for extreme-ultraviolet laser systems.

Vacuum ultraviolet fluorescence of (Xe b)+ produced in an electron- beam-pumped gas mixture
With a pulsed electron beam a gas mixture of Ar, Xe, and Rb was excited producing (XeRb) + ionic excimer molecules. To study the formation kinetics the (XeRb) + fluorescence pulse was measured as a function of the gas composition and the pumping density. From the observed fluorescence signal decay a value of 6k 1 X 10m3’ cm”/s for the formation rate constant of (XeRb) + from Xe+, Ar, and Rb was...
متن کاملNeutral dissociation of superexcited oxygen molecules in intense laser fields.
Superexcited states (SESs) of oxygen molecules and their neutral dissociation processes have been studied both experimentally and theoretically using intense femtosecond laser. We find that at the laser intensity of approximately 2 x 10(14) W/cm(2), ultrashort laser pulse causes neutral dissociation of oxygen molecule by way of SESs. The dissociation products are the excited neutral oxygen atom...
متن کاملBroadband extreme ultraviolet probing of transient gratings in vanadium dioxide.
Nonlinear spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray spectral range offers the opportunity for element selective probing of ultrafast dynamics using core-valence transitions (Mukamel et al., Acc. Chem. Res. 42, 553 (2009)). We demonstrate a step on this path showing core-valence sensitivity in transient grating spectroscopy with EUV probing. We study the optically induced insu...
متن کاملGeneration and bistability of a waveguide nanoplasma observed by enhanced extreme-ultraviolet fluorescence.
We present a study of the highly nonlinear optical excitation of noble gases in tapered hollow waveguides using few-femtosecond laser pulses. The local plasmonic field enhancement induces the generation of a nanometric plasma, resulting in incoherent extreme-ultraviolet fluorescence from optical transitions of neutral and ionized xenon, argon, and neon. Despite sufficient intensity in the waveg...
متن کاملSome fluorescent counterstains for neuroanatomical studies.
Methods for counterstaining neural tissue that contains fluorescent markers have been developed. Acridine orange is useful for localizing cells that are retrogradely labelled with the fluorescent tracers true blue, bisbenzimide, and nuclear yellow because at low concentrations it yields a green Nissl stain when excited with blue, but not with ultraviolet, light; since the tracers fluoresce only...
